I've never seen so much attention of media give to any other street artist than Banksy.Banksy is in the news again this week after trying to donate a piece of art to the Labour Party in the UK and second because he is currently taking a tour across America spreading his politically-toned outdoor urban art.You can check it here.

Who is Banksy?Banksy is a street artist from Bristol, UK.Banksy,whose stencilled artwork appears in public places around the world, has never confirmed his identity.His artworks are often-satirical pieces of art on topics such as politics, culture, and ethics.Some believe that his stencilled graffiti provides a voice for those living in urban environments that could not otherwise express themselves, and that his work is also something which improves the aesthetic quality of urban surroundings; many others disagree, asserting that his work is simple vandalism.

Banksy’s art and the general controversy surrounding his work have had a remarkable effect on the world community. For the first time, a street artist has garnered the attention of the mainstream media(quoted from WebUrbanist site)
